    "abstract": "We illuminate the importance of a self-consistent many-body treatment in\ncalculations of vacuum polarization corrections to the energies of atomic\norbitals in many-electron atoms. Including vacuum polarization in the atomic\nHamiltonian causes a substantial re-adjustment (relaxation) of the\nelectrostatic self-consistent field. The induced change in the electrostatic\nenergies is substantial for states with the orbital angular momentum $l \u0026;gt;\n0$. For such orbitals, the relaxation mechanism determines the sign and even\nthe order of magnitude of the total vacuum polarization correction. This\nrelaxation mechanism is illustrated with numerical results for the Cs atom.",
